     | 6,286 views

    In contrast to the ambition to acquire the applause and approval of men, Jesus turns his disciples toward the powerless -- toward children -- as exemplars of Himself, His Father, and the ones his disciples should seek to serve.

    Psalm 54, Wisdom 1:16 - 2:22, James 3:16-4:6, Mark 9:30-37 Apostles, Christians, and Children Sometimes, the disciples of Jesus don’t come off very well in the gospels, and today’s Gospel lesson is one of those times.

    A sermon about greed, materialism and the Prosperity Gospel.

    Time magazine’s cover story this month was entitled, “Does God Want You to Be Rich?” The header said, “A growing number of Protestant evangelicals raise a joyful Yes!” The article opens with the story of George Adams, a man from Ohio who had lost his factory job.

  • The Hidden World Of Service

    Contributed by Michael Trask on Sep 25, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,454 views

    The contrast couldn’t be more stark. Jesus describes his ultimate act of service while the disciples argue over which of them will be the greatest! This sermon stealthily plunges the listener into this contrast; then pulls them out on the right side.

    My dear friends in Christ, I want to tell you about something that I didn’t really begin to figure out until I was about 24. Many of you figured it out long before you reached that age; some of you have not figured it out yet. But when someone finally does learn it, and it begins to sink ...read more

    Jesus talks about growing in stature, but he is not talking about height. He is talking about growing in servanthood.

    Growing in the Right Direction Mark 9:30-37 September 24, 2006 Depending on whom you talk to and who does the measuring, there is any number of different ways to measure a human being. If we wanted to get into an existential discussion of humanity, we would probably remember these famous maxims. ...read more

  • On The Road With Jesus

     | 2,789 views

    Jesus taught the disciples but they did not always understand! This short homily encourages listeners to ask questions; it also reminds us that God knows about everything we do; and that is both comforting and challenging.

    Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin! Of course, it is always likely that God’s word will make us uncomfortable! When we turn to God’s word, seeking the voice of God, there is always plenty to hear; and this short Bible event is packed full of God’s wisdom, and God’s call to us. Jesus ...read more

    How are we children of God? What would it look like for you to act like a child of God?

    [I started out this sermon by telling a story about getting a cheesesteak at Angelo’s in King of Prussia, PA- I can’t do the story justice here] Mark 9:30-37 A Child’s Welcome Mark 9:30-37, They left that place and passed through Galilee.

  • Rugby, Reality & Religious Rivalry (Mark 9:31-34)

    Contributed by David Smith on Nov 4, 2007
     | 2,680 views

    You get the feeling with Jesus and the disciples that they’re never really on the same wavelength. Indeed, you get the feeling that if the group were there together at a fool...

    Yesterday was a great day for this community. Yes, I’m talking about the Newtown-St George Rugby game at Telstra Stadium, where our team, trailing by 2 points with only five minutes to go, ran in two tries to win by ten and get themselves a spot in next week’s Premier League Grand Final.

     | 4,301 views

    How we treat others is a measure of our faith in God and a demonstration of it to the world around us.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,198 views

    Ordinary Proper 20: The disciples argued about who was the greatest. Jesus told them that He - the Creator - would be betrayed and be killed. Jesus showed greatness through humility.

    What a ride! Can you imagine – I mean can you even begin to imagine – hanging out with the Creator of the universe!?! To see Him smile; to hear Him teach; to watch Jesus as He lived life with the zest and with the love that our Creator intended from the beginning – what a rush! But I wonder if ...read more
